Four Nigeria Stars Who Will Be Key At World Cup
Former Nigeria international Odubuisi Okosieme says Victor Moses, Alex
Iwobi, Wilfred Ndidi and Kelechi Iheanacho will be the Super Eagles’
key men at the 2018 FIFA World Cup finals.
The Super Eagles are in Group D alongside Argentina, Croatia and
Iceland at the global tournament which will be hosted by Russia
between June 14 and July 15.
The three players are part of Nigeria’s 28-man squad for the FIFA
international friendly games against Poland and Serbia which will be
played later this month.
”I must confess to you that Rohr is doing very well. I went through
the 28-man list that he just released for the two international
friendlies and I concluded that Eagles mean business,” Okosieme told
Nigerian Telegraph.
”I’m very happy with the current form of four of our players in top
clubs in England. I see Moses, Iwobi, Iheanacho and Ndidi as players
that will give Argentina and Croatia trouble.
”They will be too hot for our opponents to handle. Looking at the
young crops of talented players we have in that list, Eagles will do
wonders in Russia.”
Retired midfielder Okosieme played for the Super Eagles at the 1988
African Cup of Nations (AFCON) finals which were hosted by Morocco.
